Transfer Agreements
To better encourage and facilitate the transfer of Delaware County Community College (DCCC) students to Temple University, Temple and DCCC have established the following transfer agreements:
Dual Admissions
The Dual Admissions agreement between Temple and Delaware County Community College conditionally admits students to Temple at the same time they are admitted to DCCC, and provides the opportunity for merit scholarships to Temple for eligible students. Interested students must enroll in the Dual Admissions program before attaining 30 credits, including credits from any colleges previously attended. Students are then admitted to Temple upon attaining their associate's degrees at the community college. Click here for more details about Dual Admissions with Delaware County Community College
